Time Never Chose Us

As I walked into my room, the warm aroma of cocoa filled my senses. And there he was, Eric, sitting on the edge of the bed, my heart fluttering at the sight of him. But what really caught my attention was my mom, offering him the cup of cocoa with a smile on her face. 


She noticed me and asked if we could talk. My heart raced as I sat beside Eric, eager to hear what she had to say. Her soft voice filled the room, and I could feel the love and warmth in every word she spoke. 


"Eric dear," she began, "Stephen told me everything, and as much as you're worried about leaving us, I don't want you to go either. You and Stephen are perfect together, and who cares about what other people say about you? Your love is stronger than anything else." 


I felt Eric's hand in mine as mom continued speaking, telling us not to lose hope and to be resilient. Tears welled up in Eric's eyes, but a smile graced his lips.
